Rita recounts how her husband and she rushed back to Ipoh to be with their father after receiving unsettling news. Though they only learned of the attack on her father, she is touched by the continued remembrance of him by the Royal Malaysia Police, particularly the Perak police force. Rita describes her father as a loving father and a firm, courageous police officer, shedding light on the dedication and sacrifice he made during his service.",
